June goals

In addition to tracking weekly goals, I'd like to also keep track of monthly goals. I struggled a lot through both April and May to stay on track. I managed to keep up with my goals as far as weight loss was concerned (barely - only made May by the skin of my teeth), but I was awful with mileage in May.

My friend Kara and I finishing at the Dennis Devlin Memorial 5k. My second 5k, she is an amazing running partner and I am beyond lucky to be able to race with her! She keeps my motivation up and helps me crush goals. Thanks Kara!

First, a quick recap of what this year has been like for me:

January:

• Starting weight 242 pounds
• Started working out consistently
• Started c25k 1/24
• Ran 7.5 miles

February:

• Weight 233 pounds
• Running 3 days a week, cross training 3 days a week
• Ran 22.3 miles

March:

• Weight 227 pounds
• Still consistent running/cross training
• Ran 24.2 miles

April:

• Weight 220 pounds (on 4/9 my birthday) - HUGE accomplishment for me. I was really proud of this. It was a stretch goal for me and I was thrilled when I was down 20 pounds by my birthday.
• Started running outside
• Ran first "super 5k" actually 4.5 miles in 58:08
• Ran 43.8 miles

May:

• Weight 217 pounds
• Ran second 5k in 39:21 VERY happy with this run, it was quick and I felt great about it. Didn't run the whole distance, but I was thrilled with it.
• Ran 35.3 miles

June:

• Weight 212 pounds
• I'm a bit discouraged about how slow the weight is coming off now, but I know my mileage has decreased drastically.
• The temperatures are up a ton and it is making it harder to run outside.

So my goals for June are:

• Hit 50 miles of running
• Hit 205 pounds - at 200 I'm treating myself to a drastic haircut. 
• Start bridge to 10k
• Run at least one 5k
• Find and sign up for a 10k
• Start biking and swimming - with goal of starting triathlon training.
